George Oseland, with friends Matthew Walpole, Josef Galinski, Barry Galinski, Andy Cunningham and dad Gary Oseland, will be setting off on Tuesday May 3 and for the next week making their way to Benidorm in their Volkswagen Sharan.

George, whose grandmother was cared for by Saint Catherine’s 10 years ago, said: “We’re really looking forward to the trip, it was originally planned in for 2020 but the pandemic has meant it’s been delayed two years now.

“I’ve got first-hand experience of the great work Saint Catherine’s do in our local community and we wanted to use this opportunity to raise money for such a wonderful charity.
